What!? How did he do that?

^ those look like CoN 2nd chapters lol

[melvin7]

oh rof. i must've been dreaming of him wearing them then

haha yeah D i've already printed Arto's guide but i thought the superguide would have the maps, some food guide, etc. and its only $25AU. wouldnt be a bad read for the plane

ccp footwear is notorious for being really uncomfortable, at least for the first 5-10 wears. stiff treated cordovan man, shit is hard to break in. I think the pair he was wearing was perhaps a size too small or something, but he wore them around for a whole day anyway. results were... not good haha.

they do look like CoN, I'm sure the quality shits all over them though. can't bring myself to wear casual slim derbies like that anymore, too many hipster connotations...

heh, fair enough mel. I gotta start researching soon too, would be easier if you could rent some english GPS unit in japan lulz.

Hobo posted these on SZ affiliation thread: seriously drool.

[DJI]

shame the 15% off for senior members deal is over.

[melvin7]

if only my pair had the sidezips.. wouldve been the perfect sneakers. takes so fucking long to put them on.

[melvin7]

*looks at waywt thread*

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiit

[Tyro1]

hahaha at bt... collective *drool from all who ordered

[btbam]

sadly(for me only) id say mine is the worst out of all the jackets. the rest the collar sits much much better.

hoping to get 100% off today - if all goes to plan.

[Ivans On High]

Jacket looks great. Glad I got the medium.

The sleeves aren't nearly as long as I expected though, even with your extra 5cm. How does the regular sleeve length look on you bt?

[btbam]

regular sleeve length does fit me but i am glad i got an extra 2 inches ( it does stack a little for me and my arms are stupid long.

[50_lions]

looking good. I know what you mean Ivans, the original jacket on the obscur site seems to have extremely long arms.

[Ivans On High]

Good to hear. Good luck with the dispatch bt!

[Tyro1]

bt, by the way I received the ring earlier this week, Chin's work is really great! Thanks to you both

[btbam]

50 the arms are long.. perfect. being 6'4 with no muscle this jacket is pretty spot on for me, you have more upper body then i.

And i don't think anyone needs to worry about sizing. even an XL looks ok on me, but if i was to buy this jacket from a store i would probably buy a L for the extra length etc.

T - glad you like the ring, remarkable eh! in fact

here is something i discovered last night.

[DJI]

delivery tomorrow would be too good bt, looks fucking sick.

which ring did you cop T?

[Ivans On High]

bt, may I ask, did you approach that blog?

The reason I ask, is that my brother started working for a web start-up company and they are looking into 'buying links' which is under the table advertising - frowned apon by the linkes of Google, but readily endorsed by Search Engine Optimisation companies. Just curious if your advertising methods incorporate anything similar.

[btbam]

we do not advertise or approach any blogs/websites/magazines for advertising etc. we have no intent on supplying mass market and want to keep NVREND as personal as possible. But in saying that.. we need more customers :\

[Tyro1]

/\ maybe a some well targeted PR?

D - got the porcelain ring

[Chin]

bt, by the way I received the ring earlier this week, Chin's work is really great! Thanks to you both

glad to hear that you love the ring tyro, and thanks for supporting my work

wow,didn't expect to see my work get mentioned in other website so soon, must thank bt and NVEND for representing my work in such international level, now bt, where are the orders?

btw, just update my website guys, frontpage only tho lulz

[btbam]

got a couple coming through now Chin

Google is getting more and more fickle these days, especially this year imo. While yet to be fully proven, these link-buying services can be dangerous as a blacklisted/"sandboxed" site can be really fucked if it's found to be part of such a network, even the free mass link-exchanging ones. Of course SEO companies encourage these, it CAN be a quick way of bumping a site up quickly if done right but it may not be as good in the long run.

2 main things I found to look out for are to space out the backlinks so you don't get like 9 million per day; I can't remember what the unofficial threshold is but there is an invisible maximum before alarm bells at Google start ringing and they monitor you. Also, make sure to pick the RIGHT sites otherwise the same thing might happen and anyway low PR sites aren't worthwhile at all.

Just my 2 cents from experience

[selkies]

close up shot of the leather, my jacket is a medium - enjoy

[wept]

nice selks. the only thing i dont like is the zip isnt black or darker. its a small issue and its down to my own personal taste. However, its hella nice. hope you like it.

on another note i just had time to look through/read up on Individual Sentiments stuff. im amazed. anyone have any info on the coat on the left: price, online stockists?

[DJI]

I think the silver zipper works well on the jacket personally, black zippers look kinda cheap. wouldn't mind a gunmetal yurius style one though.

those pieces are from SS10 mang, a bit too early.

hmm.... :\

[btbam]

do

not

want.

i love the silver zip looks amazing

[lotek01]

oxidised zips are the best imo. and lol @ CON. they ARE pretty well shot though.

EDIT: is it just me or is the editorial a little 14th addiction?

[DJI]

I like the gunmetal coated brass zippers that _7 uses, haven't seen anyone use oxidised zips before though.

CoN shots somewhat reminded me of these. they are well shot but I'm sure the pieces are all still trash...

//edit lulz @ lotek thinking the exact same thing

[selkies]

lol con.

cant believe some people still think his work is ground breaking.
